Medere takes part in Maker Faire 2019

22 October 2019

The three days of Maker Faire Rome 2019, the most important European event dedicated to innovation organized by Innova Camera (Special Agency of the Chamber of Commerce of Rome), have just ended. Over 100 thousand people crowded the enormous pavilions of the Fiera di Roma, browsing among the over 600 projects proposed by makers from 40 countries.

Among the stands were students (28 thousand entered the fair on Friday for the day dedicated to schools), families with children, representatives of small and large companies, institutional figures (including the Minister of Education Lorenzo Fioramonti and the mayor of Rome Virginia Raggi). And then, of course, the makers, those digital artisans who over the years have become researchers, inventors, entrepreneurs.

In this context of innovation and technology, Medere presented its project for the remote production of customized insoles. In fact, the production workflow developed by Medere requires the customer, through their smartphone, to acquire a dataset of photos and videos of their feet by following the tutorials of the Medere app. At the end of the acquisition procedure, the dataset will be used by Medere to model and produce, through 3D printing technology, the custom-made insoles. The pair of insoles will then be shipped to the customer who will receive their custom-made insoles in a few days without ever having to leave home. During the three-day event, Marco, Daniele and Raffaele illustrated the details of the production methodology, arousing great interest.

The Medere team thanks the Maker Faire organization for the fantastic opportunity and all the curious people who came to our stand.
